Qutub Shahi Tombs, Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh India

The tombs of the seven Qutub Shahi rulers in the Ibrahim Bagh (garden precinct) are located close to the famous Golkonda Fort in Hyderabad, India.

Qutub Shahi tombs are 2kms away from the Golconda fort surrounded by the scenic gardens, known as Ibrahim Bagh. This complex houses about 30 tombs of both the rulers and their related ones. These tombs marvel the Indo-Persian and Deccan architectural style stand tall as the witness of the magnificence and majesty of Shahi dynasty with arches, domes and minarets built out of grey granite. During the Qutub dynasty such is the respect and reverence of these tombs that criminals were granted pardon who took refuge in this complex.

There are also tombs that belong to non-ruling members of the royal families. For example, there is the tomb of the sister of Muhammed Qutub Shah, Fatima Sultan. The tomb of the sufi saint Husain Wali, the man who built Husain Sagar which bridges Hyderabad and Secunderabad is also found there. While not as impressive as the tombs of the seven main rulers, they are still awe-inspiring in their own right.
